The Center Advisory Committee (CAC)
The Center for Health Care Services (CHCS) Center Advisory Committee (CAC) is for individuals who wish to learn about the services provided at CHCS, provide meaningful input to the board about the policies, processes, and services, and help inform leadership about experiences to improve care and delivery of services. The CAC consists of representatives of individuals being served by CHCS in terms of demographic factors such as geographic area, race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, disability, age, and sexual orientation. CAC is a public volunteer committee that seeks to incorporate meaningful participation by adult consumers with mental illness, adults recovering from substance use disorders, and family members of CHCS.
